Oversize pistons have not been available for like at least 10 years, maybe longer. Wiseco is the ONLY choice for oversize pistons, and their next run will be their LAST run, that is if they even do another (they probably will, cause they have said they will, but it will be the last run of XS11 pistons). Thing is you see, you can pick up a good running engine in good shape for as little as $100 in many cases, although I've seen them go for as much as $600, but you can find them for about $100. I got mine over 2 years ago, and I've put almost 20,000 miles on it now, still running strong. And I bought it as a pig in a poke, junk yard I bought it from didn't know why it was pulled, just knew everything looked ok (yeah, I lucked out).

Why do you think you need to bore?

think i need to bore

seized rings scarred the walls and made 3 leak down 40 on a compression test

or replace the worn part instead

Why not toss the cylinders and buy a replacement off Ebay. Will cost less and parts are all available.
